Chambered in .444 Marlin, this Timber Carbine configuration is a notable and less common pairing with the Model 94 action. It uses a full-length tubular magazine with a 5+1 capacity and an Angle Eject (AE) receiver for convenient over-the-receiver mounting options. Production falls within the 2003–2006 era at Winchester’s New Haven, Connecticut facility.
The 18 inch round carbine barrel is Winchester Proof Steel and factory ported. This setup delivers the compact handling expected of a Timber Carbine while retaining the strength and finish associated with Proof Steel construction. The blued finish is applied to both barrel and receiver.
Sighting equipment includes a ramped front sight and a folding/adjustable barrel-mounted rear sight. The receiver is drilled and tapped, and this rifle arrives with see-through ringmounts already installed directly to the receiver—no separate two-piece bases or cross-slots.
The walnut fore-end and buttstock feature cut checkering for traction, along with a Monte Carlo comb and shadow-line cheekpiece tailored for scoped shooting. A recoil pad and sling-swivel studs are factory-style elements, and this example includes a leather sling with QD swivels. Length of pull measures 14.5 inches.
